A. Jones, of Riceboro river, in this county, made last year, with two plows, 450 bushes of corn; 2,500 bushels of rice; 200 bushels of potatoes; 115 gallons of syrup; 150 bushels of peas; 150 bushels of oats - raising his own meat -- all at the expense of $1,200. His rice brought $1.40 per bushel in Savannah; by the flood in October last, he lost at least 500 bushels. Can any one beat this good farming? It shows what our low country lands are capable of producing, under good management and energy well directed.
